Product Description

Naporafenib (LXH254; LXH-254), extracted from patent WO2018051306A1, compound A, is a novel, potent and orally bioavailable C-RAF inhibitor with anticancer activity. Furthermore, it is a strong B-RAF inhibitor. LXH254 is a type II ATP-competitive inhibitor that exhibits high selectivity against a panel of 456 human kinases and in cell-based assays, inhibiting both B- and CRAF kinase activities at picomolar concentrations. Due to its capacity to inhibit both RAF monomers and dimers with comparable potencies, LXH254 not only inhibits MAPK signaling activity in tumor models harboring the BRAFV600 mutation, but it also inhibits mutant N- and KRAS-driven signaling. LXH254 is orally bioavailable, exhibits a direct PK/PD relationship, and, at well-tolerated doses, induces tumor regression in a variety of cell line and primary human tumor derived xenograft models. LXH254 represents a next generation RAF inhibitor that is differentiated from other RAF inhibitors in this class due to the high degree of selectivity. LXH254 showed a relatively wide therapeutic index in preclinical efficacy and toxicology studies, which should enable effective investigation of RAF inhibition in patients with lowered risk for off-target toxicity. Patients with solid tumors that express MAPK pathway mutations are currently enrolling in a Phase I trial for LXH254. All serine/threonine protein kinase Raf family members that have potential anticancer activity are inhibited by LXH254. The pan-RAF inhibitor LXH254 binds to Raf proteins and blocks Raf-mediated signal transduction pathways. Raf-overexpressed tumor cells are prevented from proliferating as a result. Raf protein kinases, which are upregulated in a number of cancer cell types, are essential enzymes in the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CRAF (IC50 = 0.072 nM); Braf (IC50 = 0.21 nM); ARAF (IC50 = 6.4 nM); p38α (IC50 = 2.1 μM); Abl1 (IC50 = 4.9 μM)
ln Vitro
LXH254 (Compound A) is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor of BRAF (also referred to herein as b-RAF or b-Raf) and CRAF (also referred to herein as c-RAF or c- Raf) protein kinases. LXH254 is also referred to as a C-RAF/c-Raf kinase inhibitor and as a c-RAF (or CRAF) inhibitor throughout the present disclosure. In cell-based assays, LXH254 has proven to have anti-proliferative effects in cell lines with a variety of mutations that stimulate MAPK signaling. Additionally, LXH254 is a Type 2 ATP-competitive inhibitor of both B-Raf and C-Raf that maintains the kinase pocket in an inactive conformation, reducing the paradoxical activation seen with many B-Raf inhibitors and inhibiting mutant RAS-driven signaling and cell proliferation[1].
LXH254 (0–10 µM, 1 h) inhibits monomeric and dimeric RAF and encourages the formation of RAF dimers[2].
The ability of LXH254 to inhibit MAPK signaling driven by ARAF is decreased, and it has also been shown that when CRAF expression is absent, ARAF's contribution to MAPK signaling increases[2].
LXH254 shows more sensitivity when cells lack ARAF[2].
ln Vivo
In a number of KRAS-mutant models, including the NSCLC-derived Calu-6 (KRAS Q61K) and NCI-H358 (KRAS G12C), treatment with LXH254 (Compound A) results in tumor regression. Numerous MAPK-driven human cancer cell lines and xenograft tumors that represent model tumors with human lesions in the KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF oncogenes show efficacy for LXH254[1].
In models with BRAF mutations, whether they are present alone or in combination with activated NRAS or KRAS, LXH254 exhibits significant antitumor activity, and RAS mutants deficient in ARAF are more responsive to LXH254[2].
Cell Assay
For 3-day experiments involving crystal violet staining, cells were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 50,000–100,000 cells/well, and the vehicle or drug (diluted in media) was added the next day.
Animal Protocol
Outbred athymic (nu/nu) female mice and SCID Beige mice; BRAF-, NRAS-, and KRAS-mutant xenograft models, as well as a RAS/RAF wild-type model[2]
100 mg/kg
Orally, daily

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
